Coincidence?

My girlfriend placed her order for a 17" iMac on the apple store last thursday - to replace her windows based pc. The same day she placed her order, both her home pc AND her work pc started playing up! Her work pc would crash every 5 minutes - the situation with her home pc was a little worse. Her plan was to sell it to a friend of mine. I reformatted it, reinstalled the os and a a few apps. We took it round to my friends house and guess what - it wouldn't turn on! Fans would whirr, but the monitor was blank and there was non bleep from the base unit. Could it be that her pc's were jealous of the 'new addition' to her desk? I took the thing apart, put it back together in a different case with a different powersupply, removed all the non-vital components and came to my conclusion that it was an ex-computer. I've discovered that her processor had processed it's last and slipped off the mortal coil!
